College Prowler Take
The meal plan situation is simple at Southern: You have to buy one if you live on campus, and there are only two places to use it. Probably the biggest problem with this simplicity is that there is very little variety when it comes to food choices. You never hear about poor quality food in the Court, but you do hear about how tired people are of the selection. The staff in the cafeteria is what makes all the blasé food bearable, however. With friendly, familiar faces and great service, it’s a little easier to handle the lack of options for on-campus dining. The other place to use your meal plan on campus is the C3 convenience store, which has become a favorite of many students. Also, there is the on-campus coffeehouse, the Attic, which is only open late at night but located much closer to the dorms. They recently started serving Starbucks coffee and other products, and the upgrade was noticed by all and appreciated by many.
Most students get the light meal plan, which means you will probably have to get a carload of cokes or waters at the end of the term since your money won’t roll over to the next semester. If you opt for the medium or hearty meal plans, though, any leftover money you have at the end of the term can be used for the next semester. Students Speak Out

The campus café is not bad at all, but the selection is such that you start desiring different types of food after the second month or so. |

BSC dining services have added organic products to the lineup of healthy food items. Now we can nourish ourselves with healthier choices. It’s more expensive but, nonetheless, healthier. |

The food on campus is paid for with our meal cards, which we are required to buy. The food isn’t all bad, but we don’t have a lot of options. |

Breakfast is probably the best meal they serve, which is probably why so many people go back late at night to get breakfast again. On pretty days, people like to take their food outside and eat at the tables around the fountain. |

The cafeteria isn’t bad, although there isn’t a whole lot of selection, and it gets boring pretty quickly. If you live on campus, you’re forced to buy a meal plan, which is the biggest complaint for most people. The cafeteria and the Cellar are the only places to eat on campus. |
